Basically, everything released in human scale after genestealer cults is the same size and everything in marine scale after thousands sons (depending on whether or not deathwatch came before or after WoM. Pretty sure it was before.)

"WoM"?

"Wrath of Magnus"

Looks like most of the figures have been scaled up, and it was Deathwatch followed by Wrath of Magnus. Deathwatch marines are also noticeably taller (about same scale as Rubricae minus the giant pope-hats)

ok,

I just threw one together but hopefully this will help (photos not the best as they were done quickly):

vs Primaris:

Vs MkIV Calth with Rubric Legs:

THAT 1k son is gorgeous. (well both) what rules do you use for them to represent them in 8th?

Well, with Deathwatch at least it makes some fluff sense, all getting some real, high-end (in their time) Mk VIII armour and all...

hey thanks!, you can see more of them in my Wip thread :-). rules wise I plan on playing them as a codex chapter of loyalists for now (just put a small force together with leftover parts from my main project, the contents of the BoP box, to try out 8th rules and paint some Primaris as I am primarily in the Collecting/painting camp).

The new TK's, and DeathWatch are intentionally upscaled in comparison to ALL prior marines. Death Guard apparently match that scale.

If 'human' scale is Mechanicus/Genestealer Cults or not, I guess is waiting to be confirmed.

On the Twitch for Gang War 2 they confirmed that the GS Cults heads fit the Orlock bodies. I know that's not to say the bodies are the same scale, but it's a strong hint. Probably. FWIW Orlocks are the bang average necromunda gang too.
